Because epilepsy is different under different causative factors, the types of diseases and symptoms are different, if it cannot be checked in time, it will cause misdiagnosis of the disease, which will make patients feel painful, and there is no way to get good treatment in the later stage of the disease, so a clear examination is very important. When patients are examined, they should sort out their own condition, or the video of the seizure, the time of the seizure, etc., so that the doctor can quickly understand the condition, facilitate further diagnosis of the disease, and provide a more accurate basis for the diagnosis of the disease.

In addition, some patients will have their own diseases in addition to epilepsy, and a series of examinations need to be carried out as a whole to investigate the cause of the patient's disease and see if they need to be treated together with their disease. At the same time, in the examination, the physical examination can not be ignored, which can understand the patient's physical condition and further make a clear diagnosis of the condition. If the patient has been treated with medication before, then the blood concentration must be checked to clarify the current drug concentration in the body, so that the doctor can understand the good performance of the previous drug treatment. If the patient has no previous drug history, it is necessary to check whether the patient is missing certain substances that can lead to the development of the disease.

In the examination of epilepsy, a very important examination is electroencephalogram, which is generally clinically based on 24-hour ambulatory electroencephalogram, which can clearly determine the discharge of the patient's brain within 24 hours, and further diagnose the onset time and type of the disease, which is convenient for doctors to diagnose and carry out targeted treatment. It can be seen that epilepsy examination is very important, so when patients have suspected epilepsy symptoms, they must be examined in time.
